** Definition: ** Prezi is a cloud based presentation software. You can fill up one canvas with information, text, images, videos, etc. in different frames, then choose the order that the frames are presented. During the presentation, the canvas is explored; zooming in and out and moving through the different frames. Prezis are created online and can easily be shared with others.

** Best practices for teachers: ** This is a tool for teachers to present information to a class. A teacher can find a canvas that fits the information being taught, organize the text, images, etc. onto the canvas and plan how the information shall be presented. These Prezis can also be available for students to find online. The students can continue to benefit from the information outside of the classroom. Example: A teacher can create a prezi with the new science vocabulary and tell the class to view the prezi as homework. Here is an example of a science vocabulary prezi: [|Vocabulary Prezi]

A teacher can present any information in a prezi. Here is an example of a math lesson taught with a prezi. [|Math Prezi]

Teachers can also have students create prezis to present information. Examples: Students may have to give a speech or a presentation about a specific topic. The student can use a prezi instead of a powerpoint or a poster. In this example, the student has researched the etymology of the word "olive" and has created a prezi to present her information.
